Ami

Stylist

My dream of becoming a hairstylist began once I started working at Scalped Salon as a shampoo assistant in high school. I have been working at Scalped Salon since 1998. I have since received my bachelor’s degree in photography from Towson University. I completed my hair licensing requirements at The Fila Academy, a Paul Mitchell Partner School, in Glen Burnie. I have also completed a year long training/assistant program at Scalped Salon with Margaret and Kathleen learning both color and cutting techniques. I have attended advanced classes with Roy Peters, Robert Cromeans, Angus Mitchell, and Winn Claybaugh just to name a few. I also had the privilege of attending The 2005 Paul Mitchell Signature Gathering in Las Vegas. I have completed and received my Certification as a Redken Specialist this year and plan to continue my education further through classes this year. My goal as a hairstylist is to be a “Daymaker”, so that every client I come in contact with feels as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.

Stylist

I have always loved the beauty and fashion industry. I grew up watching make-over shows and NYC Fashion Week on TV. After years of feeling unfulfilled in my “career”, I decided to go after my first love and enter the world of beauty. I obtained my license in 2004 from a Paul Mitchell Partner school in Glen Burnie, MD. While attending school at night, I trained in the Assistants Program at Scalped Salon during the day. As a hairdresser, I believe that investing in myself through continuing education and raising my level of skills keeps my business alive. I have attended seminars with Roy Peters; “The Master of Redken Hair Color”. Some of the Scalped girls and I traveled to The 2006 International Beauty Show in NYC and Columbia Beauty Supply’s Ocean City Show in 2008. These shows offer the latest beauty trends; not to mention how fun they are. Who can say they love going to work? ME! When a client tells me that I have made her day, it makes mine. It is a feeling like no other when you truly have made someone feel beautiful, both inside and out. I love knowing that every day may bring me a new client and a chance to make a difference in their day and hopefully develop a lasting hair relationship! Let’s face it, we all know that having a hair crisis can be a day breaker. This is why we are all “Day Makers” here at Scalped Salon and Spa. We want to make your day and give you the experience that you deserve when you walk through the door. I consider myself lucky to spend my days next to a very talented, smart and fun group of women.

Penny

Stylist

After many years of sitting behind a desk, I realized that I was ignoring my true calling; to become a hair stylist. My mother was a stylist for over 20 years and I aspired to follow in her footsteps. I became a licensed Cosmetologist after graduating from Blades School of Hair Design in California, Maryland. Since becoming a part of the Scalped Salon and Spa team in August of 2008, I completed Margaret’s training program as well as attended classes from the top artists in the beauty industry. I am fortunate to be able to work with a group of amazing women who love to share their knowledge. It’s been a rewarding experience so far and I am excited by the opportunity to provide my clients with advanced cutting and color techniques along with premium hair care products.

Amye-Leigh

Stylist

I am a graduate of The Calvert Career Center.  I obtained my license in 2006 and I am attending advanced training for special occasion updos, cutting and color.  I also love performing manicures and pedicures.  My specialty is updos; something I absolutely enjoy.  Making people feel better about themselves is very gratifying.  It began when my mother a diagnosed with cancer.  Through this personal experience, I learned how to make her feel beautiful during both a physically and emotionally difficult time.  This lead me to the realization that becoming a cosmetologist was something I had to pursue.  I wanted to be able to make more women look and feel beautiful.  I am happy and fulfilled by my career choice and Scalped Salon and Spa gives me the opportunity to offer you the ultimate in customer service.

Pamela

Registered Massage Practitioner and Reiki Master

I became interested in massage in 1992 after witnessing the effects of lymph node drainage through massage on my daughter. The doctors were amazed by the changes in her health. I was busy raising our daughter, supporting my husband’s military career and learning life lessons before I decided that it was my turn to embark on a new career outside of the home. Realizing how powerful massage can be and recognizing my love for nurturing and working with people led me to The Baltimore School Of Massage. I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love. I specialize in Swedish, Deep Tissue and Hot Stone Massage as well as Reiki, Pregnancy Massage and Cupping. The relaxing and friendly atmosphere is what led me to Scalped Salon and Spa.

I have been a professional make-up artist for more than 30 years.  After graduating from Saint Mary’s College of Maryland, with a degree in Biology and an avid interest in the theatrical arts I decided to pursue a career in make-up. I honed my make-up skills with intensive studies at the “Research Council of Make-up Artists” headed by the legendary Vincent JR Kehoe, author of many instructional make-up books. Following this training and lots of practice with cosmetic companies and small theater I began work in the film business through a friend of mine. After two films and assorted T.V. productions,including “The West Wing”, I joined the staff at CNN as senior make-up artist. For the past 25 years I have had the privlidge to work with many exciting people including: Larry King, Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra and Sir Anthony Hopkins to name a few. I have also used my skills on various world leaders including the last 8 U.S. Presidents and First Ladies . Now I am excited to begin a new phase in my career with the staff and clients of “Scalped Salon”.  I look forward to sharing my make-up knowledge with you.

Michelle

Nail Technician

I’ve been a Licensed Nail Technician for 16 years. One day while getting my nails done I became fascinated by the techniques that made them so beautiful. Right then, like a bolt of lightning had struck me, I decided that I had to be on the other side of the manicure table. I love the one-on-one interaction with my clients as much as I love providing nail services for them. I specialize in acrylic nails and pedicures. I use only the finest products and do all my work by hand, never using a drill which can cause burning and discomfort. I take pride in assuring clients that all the utensils used during nail services are hospital grade disinfected, giving them peace of mind about nail and skin infections, which can be quite scary these days. I’ve worked at other salons and spas in the Calvert County area over the years, but I’ve finally found my way home to Scalped Salon and Spa. I’m comfortable and finally at peace. I’m here to stay.
